Tektronix P6243
1GHz Active Probe
Description
The Tektronic P6243 Active FET probe is a high performance probing solution for the 500 MHz oscilloscopes. The P6243 has a probe only bandwidth of 1 GHz and will provide a 500 MHz system bandwidth when it is used with Tektronix' full line of 500 MHz oscilloscopes. Also, the P6243 is powered by the TEKPROBE BNC interface, which eliminates the need for additional power supplies and cables when it is used with TEKPROBE BNC oscilloscopes.
The P6243 has superior signal acquisition on surface mount devices compared to the much higher capacitive loading of passive probes. The P6243 has ≤1 pF capacitive loading which allows it to measure high speed signals without affecting the signal or device under test.
Key Points

1 MΩ Input Resistance
Direct Access to SMDs as Small as 0.5 mm Pitch
Measures CMOS, BiCMOS, ECL, GaAs and TTL Logic
Low Mass Probe Head/Cable
No Additional Power Supplies or Cables Are Required with TEKPROBE™ BNC Interface
